Meet Swamiji Kapri
At 81, Swamiji Kapri is the guiding spiritual force behind Pushkar Meditation Temple. For Swamiji, yoga is not merely a system of postures or techniques — his central teaching is that yoga as a spiritual discipline cannot be “taught”; it can only be shared.
“Human beings have no reason to suffer. They suffer because of ignorance. The primary goal of yoga is to remove this ignorance and help us realize our true nature — remembering who we truly are.”
— Swamiji KapriSwamiji's journey began with the Bihar School of Yoga in the 1960s. His decades of sharing yoga with international seekers across 70+ countries has made him one of the most sought-after teachers of Raja and Tantra yoga in the world.
“We cannot build enough hospitals to take care of all the sick people in the world but we can reduce the number of people getting sick through yoga + meditation.”
— SwamijiTwo Paths to Spiritual Realization
In ancient Indian yogic tradition, there were broadly two paths to spiritual realization — Vivekaja marg (the path of distinction and discrimination) and Yogaja marg (the path of union and integration).
Raja Yoga
Patanjali and all yoga styles based on Yoga Sutra followed the Vivekaja marg in which first the Purusha or Atma (Self) is separated from the Prakriti (matter) and then the Atma (individual soul) is united with Parmatma (Universal Soul). In other words, yoga (union) follows viyog (separation).
In Raja yoga, Dharana (concentration) precedes Dhyana (meditation). This philosophy known as Raja yoga forms the basis of our RYT200 Yoga Teacher Training course.
Tantra Yoga
Tantra yoga known as Shaivagama (Shaivism) has adopted the Yogaja marg in which there are 112 kinds of yoga which are called Dharana. Dharana, if practiced correctly, brings about the integration of the individual soul with the universal Soul (Bhairava or Shiva). Tantra yoga also helps the realization of the universe (nature) as the expression of Shiva's play or Shakti (spiritual energy).
The course is transformative and comprehensive and is entirely based on scriptures. It covers all aspects of the Shaiva philosophy: Ultimate Reality, Manifestation, Bondage, Liberation and Upayas (means) of liberation.
In Tantra yoga, awareness precedes the state of meditation. This basic difference makes Tantra relatively easier to practice and master.
“Both the courses with equal emphasis on practice and theory prepare a serious aspirant for the ultimate goal of self-realization.”
